If I post something at the end of a hot day climbing nearly 1 to 1 slopes for a thousand feet horizontal and after having drunk beer it may be a bit stream-of-consciousness.
Some people seem to think every post should be on the level of a peer reviewed article in a professional journal.
I think of Beer Leg as being like having a beer with another Surveyor or harassing each other at the water cooler.
I don't mean to seem to be picking on BLM. They have a tough job sometimes and I can appreciate that. It's not always easy to know the right answer.

Well, it challenges one, of course, but anything that gets Keith Williams to want to wait to hear the facts before posting an opinion is obviously a major accomplishment. Don't short yourself on that one.

Yes, and somewhere between beer review and peer review will be peers-with-beers review.
Personally, I think that every fourth post ought to be suitable for publication in the "International Journal of Survey Opinion" published in Stuttgart, Germany every Oktober.
Peers with Beers Review
that's a classic, I'll remember that one LOL
We're all gathered around the map of the Survey with 3 or 4 beers to our credit each
SHAY KENT WASH THE FUNNY ARROW THINGY?
Peers with Beers Review
Well, I'm thinking it would go more like "Man, I can't believe that you would be so arrogant as to remove some mentally-impaired surveyor's marker that fell about six feet away from the corner as marked by the still-existing original monument from the 1963 survey that created the boundary and those of the street and the adjoining parcels. That marker was ... EVIDENCE!"
yeah
Cheap Scotch Whiskey will do that to you, make you remove random rebars sticking out of the ground.
Actually, a sober look at the situation

Actually, a sober look at the situation is what leads one to conclude that there are some markers that surveyors set that just need to be euthanized for the good of everyone concerned, including the dimwit who set them.
Really, in that case I mentioned, the only reason to have preserved them would have been for their comedy value or if there were a malpractice suit pending against the miscreant who had set them. There wasn't and that sort of negligence isn't really all that funny, so the real problem was how to solve the problem. Vise-grip pliers had a 100% success rate in the solution.
As it later turned out (and I apologize to any peers with beers for getting ahead of the story) it was fantastically good that the quickie-dickie survey's marks got erased when they did, because .... well I don't want to get too far ahead of the story. It would be better to hear how important it was to preserve all of the free-throw corner monuments before cutting to the chase.

I remember that thread and if you'll recall I agreed with you in it.
I also recall J.B. Stahl agreeing with you too 🙂
